Road Trips
No matter the season or duration, there’s a perfect Four Corners road trip just for you
Looking for a starting point for your next epic road trip? The Four Corners region of the Southwestern United States is the perfect spot. A road trip in any direction will have you taking in beautiful landscapes of the Colorado Plateau, historical landmarks, National Parks, National Monuments, magnificent cliff dwellings, and learning about Navajo and other native culture.
If you prefer road trips with outdoor activity and nature exploration, you’ll love it out here. You can turn those breathtaking, never-ending high-desert landscapes into your own playground, and spend your time hiking, climbing, rafting, fishing, or mountain biking, then capping off your day with a soak in some natural hot springs.
Four Corners National Monument is the only place in the United States where you can simultaneously stand in four states (Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah). This means you can start your Four Corners road trip with bragging rights. Perfect.
Plus, if it’s not too crowded, the Monument is also a really fun location to play a game of Twister. Just replace the colors with the names of states. Left foot: New Mexico!
So, let’s get started. If you’re in the Four Corners region and want to go exploring, there’s a road trip that’s perfect for you.
